61 years ago today, the B-29 Superfortress known as the "Enola Gay" dropped the atomic bomb known as "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, ushering in a new era of warfare-Mutually Assured Destruction or MAD for short. The yield was small by today's comparisons, only 15 kilotons, but the blast from the bomb immediately killed 70,000 and tens of thousands died later from radiation sickness. This bomb and the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki three days later prevented the need for an invasion of the Japanese mainland, where hundreds of thousands of Whites would have died. National Socialist Germany came very close to developing their own nuclear weapons, but the US was able to develop the technology first probably due to the fact that our mainland was not being bombed 24/7 as Germany was late in the war. Also, many scientists that had knowledge of this technology slipped out of Germany and into the United States before and during the war. The jews wanted the bomb dropped on Germany first, but as it turned out we dropped two on Japan instead, making them the only two used in warfare to date.

On this date, August 9, 61 years ago, the B-29 Superfortress called "Bockscar" dropped the A-bomb called "Fat Man" on Nagasaki. Its yield was 21 kilotons and the blast killed 40,000 instantly, with tens of thousands dying afterward from radiation poisoning. It was the dropping of this A-bomb and "Little Boy" three days earlier that eliminated the need for an invasion of the Japanese mainland thereby saving untold tens of thousands of White lives and ended the war in the Pacific.
